Elijah Baker: Transforming Lives Through Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset
Elijah Baker, a Transformation Coach and Master Personal Trainer, recently shared his insights on fitness, nutrition, and mindset in an insightful interview on "The Day With Trae" with guest host Deaunte Damper. With over 16 years of experience in the fitness industry and a Bachelor of Science in Physical Education from Eastern Washington University, Elijah, the owner of Always Winning Fitness, brought a wealth of knowledge to the conversation. He emphasized that his mission is to help the community win by transforming lives both mentally and physically.
During the interview, Elijah delved into his personal "fit to fat to fit" journey, sharing his experiences with overcoming health issues and losing over 60 pounds. He highlighted his philosophy of 20% fitness, 80% nutrition, and 100% mindset, explaining that while fitness is often the initial focus, nutrition and mindset are crucial for sustainable results. He stressed the importance of building "mental muscles" through practices like listening, reading, and affirmations, comparing it to physical training. Elijah also shared practical tips for starting a fitness journey, including taking action, finding accountability, and making small, consistent changes.
Elijah also addressed the importance of community and support systems in achieving fitness goals. He encouraged individuals to find accountability partners and support groups, emphasizing that no one is meant to go through their fitness journey alone. He also spoke about his work with senior fitness, noting that even simple movement like walking at the mall can be beneficial. He shared an inspiring anecdote about his mother-in-law’s rehabilitation and the joy she found in workout classes with other elderly people.
Elijah announced the launch of a new aspect of his business focusing on mental fitness, providing daily mental workouts and virtual "stretch and release" sessions every Saturday. He also mentioned his partnerships with Spoon Fed Training and True Edge Fitness, where he offers personal training and group classes.
